Response code 404 from RampClient

[DwayneSmurdon]

Hello,

First, thanks for working on this application. I hope to get it running and perhaps contribute myself. Could you please help debug this issue?

Is that 404 from RampClient indicative of a problem? Also, when I see "RampClient: lastUrl=http://192.168.0.3:8008/apps/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" in the logs, should all of these 0's instead my my APP ID?

I have a few APP ID's and I want to make sure I'm using the right one. I didn't include the entire APP ID for obvious reasons. I wasn't sure if we needed to include the port # when we requested the whitelisting, so I did one without.

...b293 -> http://192.168.0.2:8080/index.html
...b293_1 -> http://192.168.0.3:8080/index.html
...b293_2 -> http://192.168.0.4:8080/index.html
...b293_3 -> http://192.168.0.2/index.html

ChromeCast will always be 192.168.0.3 and the computer I'm running on is usually 192.168.0.2 (I can reserve that IP for my MAC address, but I haven't yet).

I can can manually connect to that URL above, but it is obviously unreadable...and seems to keep sending data.

Finally -- and this could be important, I am running this from inside Eclipse. This worries me because it might have trouble finding my index.html file (perhaps others, too?). I dropped a copy into my project root folder (because this is often my current working directory).

Thanks,

-Dwayne

Oops. I found out that I needed to also put my APP ID in FlingFrame.java as well. So, it has changed the screen on my TV, but I have yet to see the video come out yet. My console in Eclipse seems to be in a loop with the following output (I edited out my full app id, but you can see "...b293_2":

It is important that the Chromecast device is able to load the receiver HTML file on your network. Its not clear from your description if you have a dedicated web server on a computer with a static IP address.

[DwayneSmurdon]

Well, it's on DHCP (for now) because it's my laptop. However, I did change my app ID to match the currently assigned IP address. Nonetheless, I will configure my router to reserve an IP for my laptop's MAC address and try it all again.

What I can tell you is that on my TV I saw two scroll bars: along the bottom and on the far right -- but the rest was a black string. I did check and VLC is able to properly play my test file. Should I start with a smaller test file while debugging?

Point the Chrome browser to port 9222 of the Chromecast device and use the Chrome debug tools to get more visibility on what is happening on the Chromecast device.
